Though I've come late to the party...
if you'd have checked through his last 30 posts, yuo'll notice that most have been edited by Mark.
you'll see that he was rude to other members, making accusations about them, insulting them steernig threads off course to talk about things that he knew very little about but was wholly opinionated about. (and IMO the stuff he was posting for Omar to read was just flame bait).
he was warned (more than once), and he continued to do it.
I liked him too, his arguments were normally pretty accurate and consice, but he trod on some peoples toes and got banned for it. it's as simple as that.
it's not about this place being a police state, it's about the fact that we (as in the mods) have to try to keep some sort of peace around here, and if that means that Jenox is banned then that's a shame, but it's happened now.
Anyway.
Yes, Mark placed the ban on.
Yes the ban is permenant
No, Mark doesn't have any vendettas against anyone here, and he's not got it in for anyone.
yes, you are a very fivkle bunch, yesterday Mark was a great mod, today he's a bad mod who's got it in for certain members.
yes, we all need to grow up and realise that we can't say 'whatever' we like without consiquence, not out in the real world, and not here.
